The Kiln is REALLY Busy

Welp, I’ve got 4 pieces for bisque and 2 pieces for glaze, and they’re not in the kiln yet. And then I have 2 more pieces for bisque by the end of this week. They really need to get the load going!

I’m almost done with the “Animals I know” (friends and colleagues’ pets) and next will start on the animals that I know of (e.g. dog park acquaintances). However, my brain is already branching out and thinking about other types of animals. I’ve got a rough idea of how I want to do a rabbit, and possibly a hamster as well. I have a couple of friends who don’t have pets but do like certain animals, so I’d like to make them something too.

The Kiln is busy

Something is going on with the kiln, there's a lot of urgent pieces to put in the kiln so my items have all been staying in the queue.

I now have around 5 pieces waiting; 3 for bisque fire, and 2 for glaze fire. One of the glaze fire items is my colour plate, to see the colours that I bought.

I have one cat at home waiting for me to put the colour glaze on (I'm waiting for the colour plate) and if the bisque pieces ever get into the kiln, then I have another 3 for glazing.

By the sound of it, I don't think my pieces will be put in the kiln this week either, so then next week I'll have one more cat ready for the bisque fire, and I'll be on my way making yet another pot. I have to start brainstorming how to cartoon-ize Poodles and Pomeranians.

Working with the Demon

I’m trying to make a colour index plate and the cat comes to wreak havoc at the most inopportune time ever!

The cat’s name is Marble but we are still calling her “The Baby”, I guess I’ve started to call her “Demónio” (The Demon) due to the destruction she causes wherever she goes.
